Giuseppe Grandi (1843–1894) was an Italian sculptor.
Life
Grandi was born and died in
academist
position and shared their common luministic research. Forgetting neoclassical smoothness and the lucidity of Romantic art, he sought the luministic effects of painting in sculpture.
One of his best-known works is the monument to
Ney
of 1874.
In 1881 his initial design won a public competition to create a monument to the modelli, bronze casting, and even created a small menagerie of animals as live models for the work. For each of the Five Days he had many different and well-known models pose, but he died in 1894, before he could see his work inaugurated.
The city of Milan has renamed a piazza after him.
